The Social Innovation Opportunity For Tauranga

Unpack social innovation and its potential to transform our communities with experts. Hear from inspiring speakers using innovative approaches to tackle tough issues and deliver positive social change.

Get your hands dirty over lunch by learning how to get started building an idea to deliver social change or how you can support those on their journey.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll be aware our society is facing unprecedented social and environmental challenges. In recognition of this the United Nations developed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are 17 goals, adopted globally, to end poverty, protect our planet and ensure prosperity by 2030.

For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part: government, the private sector, not for profits and our wider community.

If you are in business, central or local government, an investor, a non for profit community leader, an entrepreneur, come and gain more awareness of social innovation and its intentions, how to foster and enable it locally in order to address some of the big issues our world is facing.
